Uncle B.J.'s 2012 Visit

B.J. came to visit for 2 weeks at the very end of July/beginning of August.  I have to make sure I put a date on the pictures I take when he is here because the pictures from his visits always look exactly the same.  Lots of kids jumping on him, lots of Mario, and lots of fun for my kids.

 G really like smashing B.J.

 The played lots of Bey Blades.

I think Lila loved him best of all.  B.J. and I both agree that 4 year olds are the best. We wanted to pack her up in his suitcase and send her to Florida for a visit :)

Jazz N Place Carnival

 Sunny's dance studio had a carnival during the summer.  We went with Kathy and her girls.  The kids had a fun time taking pictures, eating, and having their faces painted.

 Sunny's summer dance teacher was Rapunzel.  She really looked like her.

 Ariel was so very sweet.

Saturn

 A month of so ago, we were able to go over to our neighbors house and get a great view of Saturn through some really cool telescopes.

 It was so neat to be able to see the rings so clearly.

We also were able to see the moon and see lots of craters.  The kids (and I) really enjoyed it.

Using a Spoon

This is a random picture, but oh so cute.  I think Cam is about 10 1/2 months old here.  He learned to use a spoon pretty well, but always end up throwing it on the ground.  I think he prefers his hands :)

Timpanogos Cave

 Somehow my friend Kathy convinced me that it would be a good idea to hike up to Timp cave.  Remember the last time I did that?  Let me refresh your memory:

Yep, I hated it that bad, but I decided to give it another try.

 Lila hung out with Savana most of the way up.

 All of our cute girls.

 And Jack.

We finally made it to the top.

So, these are my thought on hiking to the cave:  It wasn't nearly as bad as I remember.  Dare I say, I actually enjoyed it?!?!?  I might even do it again.

Griffin's Party

 Opening his card from Mok and Pok.  He was super excited to get mail of his own.

 I made G a monkey cake (although I know it looks like a bear :)  He loved it, I was pleasantly surprised with it, because I didn't have high expectations. 

We had G's party on the day Uncle B.J. flew in from Florida (yep, these are pictures from July that I am just now blogging)

Uncle Goshy was there too :)

Nana came to celebrate and brought Griffin some super cute presents, including his very own scooter.

G got so many cool gifts from everyone.  He loved everything.  Thanks Mom and Dad, Nana, B.J., Joshy and Jess, and of course, Mok and Pok:)
